Translated Text: Turkey's Withdrawal from a Village Near Afrin Turkish forces withdrew from the village of Julbur in the outskirts of Afrin city, located in northwestern Syria, on Sunday. This withdrawal came after more than eight years of control over the area by Turkish forces, during which time the village was used as a military base and residents were not allowed to return to their homes. After the withdrawal, vehicles belonging to the internal security forces of the Syrian interim government entered the village and began search and inspection operations to identify mines and unexploded remnants of war, as well as to assess the safety of the area. The village of Julbur has more than 110 homes, many of which have been damaged or destroyed over the years due to bombings and military operations. The village had become a front-line area and was repeatedly bombed, leading to extensive damage to residential buildings and private property.
